insertion and deletion
The three different types of mutation are substitution, insertion, and deletion. They differ because deletion is missing a base, insertion has a base that was added, and substitution has a base that has been replaced.
A point mutation is a type of mutation that involves a change in a single nucleotide in the DNA sequence. This can result in different types of mutations such as substitutions, insertions, or deletions of nucleotides.
A genetic mutation is a change in the DNA sequence that can affect an organism's traits. The types of genetic mutations include point mutations (substitution, insertion, deletion), frameshift mutations, and chromosomal mutations (deletion, duplication, inversion, translocation).
The three types of mutations are substitution (a single nucleotide is replaced with a different one), insertion (an extra nucleotide is added to the DNA sequence), and deletion (a nucleotide is removed from the DNA sequence).
